I'm not a nut fan, I put sultanas in the first batch and nothing in the second since one of the folks who'd be eating it can't eat dried fruit. Sultanas were good!

His results - Ooey Gooey Taffy Tart Squares
This was another recipe that was so good I made it twice in a week. It was much better the first time though. I put that firmly down to using muscavado sugar the first time and having run out the second time. Normal brown sugar was OK but not a patch on the first bath. I highly recommend you use muscovado!

His results - Jam Crostata
I enjoyed making this one a lot. Shockingly simple and I liked the steps. The dough had a very pleasing consisentcy when it came together.

I didn't go for anything too fancy when I prepped it. Just laid a few wide stripes on. It looks pretty basic like this but the sections looked really nice after cutting. It was incredibly quick. In fact I had mine out of the oven and half way cooled by the time She popped hers into the oven.
Hers did end up looking fancier but I doubt it was tastier. This was absolutely my favourite recipe we've made in a fair few weeks (and we've been on a good run). I didn't put in as much jam as suggested and I added a pinch of salt to the dough. Other than that I just followed as it said. This won't be the last time I make this recipe I'm sure. It was blisteringly quick and can be baked with no notice since you don't need to wait for butter to soften etc. Everything should already be on hand in your kitchen, it can be made and on the table in 40 minutes and is delicious warm. Perfect if you need a truly delicious desert in a hurry!

I reaffirmed my love of chilies paired with chocolate but I'm not so sure this is the absolute best recipe to show that off. Definately tasty though!

His results - Anginetti Cookies
Rolling them in my hands seemed like hard work so I left my cookies jaggedy.
They were OK. Not great but OK. they would have benefitted from being smaller, more intensely flavoured, and having a fair bit more glaze.
After they dried out a bit I tried one or two with lemon curd in the middle. Good call it was too.
These were pretty good as I said but not good enough for me to plan on making them again.
